Word Of Mouth Grill, LLC

What a great little bbq restaurant. Seems like a family run small business, and the food was great.

Stopped in to check out WoM Grill from the hype I have heard from friends. I went big and did 2 protiens and 2 sides. Brisket and Ribs along with bbq beans and potato salad. This was a lot of food! Brisket and Ribs were phenomenal. Tender, smokey and right. Beans were hard to stay away from and felt like it's own meal. Delicious and I could almost eat it like a chili. Tater salad was spot on with a twist I haven't had before.. with peas in it. Im probably gona steal this recipe for my next cookout. Super friendly, great food. Go enjoy this place.

🚨ATTENTION🚨 as an employee I normally don’t leave reviews, but I feel it’s important to be honest about my experience at Word of Mouth Grill. During my time there, we never received our card tips and were told not to tell customers about it. The owners were verbally abusive toward staff and created a toxic work environment. After I quit (for multiple valid reasons), they chose to withhold my final paycheck out of pettiness. I waited two full weeks after my last day before filing a complaint with the Arizona Labor Department, hoping they would do the right thing — but they never did.

Despite everything, I was a reliable and honest employee. Many guests came in specifically looking for me at the register. Unfortunately, hard work wasn’t respected here. The owners often spoke negatively about their own guests and friends, fired new hires after just a couple of days instead of properly training them, and ignored basic labor laws. I regularly worked 40+ hours per week with no benefits and no overtime pay.

When I got sick, I was denied any time off because the owner refused to schedule another employee she personally didn’t like. I was left to keep working while unwell because there was no one else on staff — I was the only employee at the Ahwatukee location.

I originally joined the company believing in their “minority-owned” values, but sadly, it was just a façade. I hope this review helps anyone considering a position there make an informed decision.

10/10. From the service to the quality of food. I got the pulled pork with the Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad for sides with the Carolina BBQ sauce for the Pork. Quality taste and really nice dine in environment. Highly recommend! Will be coming back again.

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. Good prices too and it's locally owned and operated and what's better than supporting local?!! You definitely need to try this place!

The staff was substandard. They actually had no interest in the customer.

I had the pulled pork bowl with their BBQ sauce. The food was excellent! Good mash potatoes with corn, topped with pulled pork. The employees were very friendly. They let me sample a few of the sauces before I picked one. The pork was very tender. I'll be going back for more soon!!

You have to go and try their wings topped with the creamy, tangy white Alabama sauce! I could eat them every day!!

They are Very unprofessional From the moment I walked in, the staff seemed disorganized and uninterested in helping customers. No one greeted me for several minutes, and when someone finally did, they acted like I was bothering them. The server kept forgetting our order, mixed up our drinks, and didn’t apologize once. I even saw employees arguing with each other right in front of customers

I really like this spot …service is great family owned.. really kind. food is solid. I don’t think it’s the best barbecue” in Phoenix, but this is a really great spot overall. The wings were definitely a highlight. They also listed very clearly the gluten-free items on the menu which my daughter has celiac and they were very accommodating.

Ordered about $100 worth of food. And it just fell flat. Hard. Not good at all. Super nice people, just couldn’t match it with the food.
